A rocket is fired straight upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of
25.0 m/s2. It runs out of fuel at the end of 4.00 s and continues to coast
upward, reaching a maximum height before falling back to Earth. (a) Find the
rocket’s height when it runs out of fuel; (b) find the rocket’s velocity when it
runs out of fuel; (c) find the maximum height the rocket reaches; (d) find the
rocket’s velocity the instant before the rocket crashes into the ground; and
(e) find the total elapsed time from launch to ground impact.
